Extensions

Please browse the recent articles featured for the news tag extensions. The PermaRoof UK blog provides industry news, customer stories, product features and analysis for our customers and peers in the industry.

Many homeowners across the UK are increasingly looking at extensions to their homes in favour of moving to a new house. This is often due to rising house prices and the high fees associated with moving.

An extension to the home is typically single-storey with a flat roof and requires local planning consent and relevant permissions before work begins. Planning for this additional living space is important from the outset and there are many aspects to consider – from energy efficiency to materials and everything in between.
